ESD and ROI: The Power of Slow

In the world of electronics, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be a major problem. It can damage sensitive electronic components, and it can even be dangerous to personnel. To prevent ESD, people use a variety of mitigation and control techniques. These techniques can be very effective, and they can save companies a lot of money.  In his TEsD Talk, Jay Skolnik will explain an unusual analogy on how the same principles of ESD mitigation and control can also be used to maximize the return on investment (ROI) of traveling to the ESDA symposium. By taking a few simple steps, you can ensure that your trip is a success and that you get the most out of your investment!
